NOTE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You can enjoy a DVD with this unit alone when
connecting it to an external monitor or audio
equipment.
Also, you can operate this unit connected to a
center unit made by Kenwood to output
sound.
A Kenwood-made center unit that can be
connected to this unit is called "Center Unit".
About a center unit that can be
connected to this unit:
If a center unit (such as CD receivers) has
capability for "N" of <"O-N" switch>, this unit
can be connected to this unit.
According to the operating instructions of a
center unit, the setting of <"O-N" switch> is
"N". This unit is, however, exclusive to "N".
Therefore, <"O-N" switch> is unnecessary.
If using a separate CD/MD changer switching
unit "KCA-S210A", AUX audio input is enabled
also on a disc changer control equipped center
unit not compatible with "N". In this case, this
unit cannot be operated on the center unit.
For connections to this unit, refer to "When
your car audio has RCA input" (page 32).
For details of connection, refer to the
operating instructions attached to KCA-S210A.
The functions available and/or information
displayable may depend on types of units to
which you connect.
